  Yes, celebrate the successes:  The operation went well.  The talk was well received.  The family visit passed without incident.  You arrived safely at your destination.  The prayers worked well.  Now you can relax.  Yes, relax, but do not stop praying.  We say this not to indicate that once again you need worry.  We [...]

In darkness you live, stumbling about, groping for truth, groping to find your way.  You turn a corner and see a bit of light.  It is refreshing,  full of hope.  It feels so very different.  You no longer can settle for darkness, and so you stumble on, but not quite so blindly any longer, [...]

“Do as we say, not as you do” — a bit of a twist on one of your sayings. So often you march off through your day acting on your own, as if you are connected to naught but your own mind. Then, when you err or encounter difficulties, you [...]

When the world seems to be moving faster than you are, begin with deep breathing. Slow down your racing thoughts just enough that the whisper of the Voice of Spirit can get through. “Relax,” it says. There is never any need for worry when you turn over all results to [...]

Whether you journey near or far, we are there. You never walk alone. You may become so preoccupied with your human endeavors that you do not notice us or think to think of us, but we have not gone anywhere. We occupy the self-same world, but at a different level [...]

Imagine a crystal ball, clear as can be. Is it a tool of magic? Not at all. It is a point of focus, just as can be a candle, a mirror, a flower, or any other object real or imagined of your choosing. The point of such an object is [...]

You cannot fail. You can only fail to understand how you fit into the grand scheme of things. If you think this earthly world is the only world, then you will fail to see love all around you. If you think that physical matter is really solid, then you will [...]

When others do not act as you wish, do you grow frustrated? Angry? Are you their puppet master? We do not wish to be critical, merely to make a point: You cannot control others’ actions or thoughts. Ego would like you to be in control of all around you, including [...]

Act as if you are _____ and you will be. Have you not heard this? Fill in the blank with whatever you wish. Your entire life you are acting out roles, so when you have a new role you would like to play … a new way of being you [...]

Yes, you can strive for the things you want and think you need. There is nothing wrong with that. Have we not told you that right and wrong are human concepts? All simply is. You give it meaning. And so, you give meaning to a goal and you go for [...]

Zero defects—a human concept—that something could be less than perfect by having defects in the first place, and then not have them at all. Is perfection possible? In a realm of relativity there is only “more or less than.” And so you strive. And so you compare. And so you [...]

You gather together and join hands in a circle. What have you done? You have formed the symbol of oneness with no beginning and no end, where no one member of the circle is any more or less important than another. All are equidistant from the center. Now imagine the [...]

We know you want to change the world. We know you are frustrated by the current state of affairs. All in good time, my friend. Is your own house in order? Yes, we know it is getting tidier by the minute, but our point is to remind you that each [...]

Whether near or far, I AM always with you. You cannot get away from I AM, for the very words are your name. From the beginning was I AM. It is who you are and it explains your very existence. There is not a one of you who does not [...]

Things fall into place … like pennies from Heaven … falling … and you raise your eyes to the heavens in gratitude. Why this difference between higher up and where you are? Why do blessings appear to come from on high? It is because the soul knows there is more, [...]

This train keeps on moving. Yes, it stops at various stations along the journey, but then it continues down the never-ending tracks. Some wish to get off. They are those who do not understand the nature of the ride. They want to be in the driver’s seat instead of experiencing [...]

Distractions abound. You place your focus on one spot and soon you have wandered. It is the human way. Remain steadfast on your mission, answering your calling, knowing that you may be diverted. If you are unsure of your calling but your heart continues to nudge you, then continue to [...]

The baby in the womb forms a bond that is unbreakable. You share a connection with the mother based on the entanglement of energies shared during the formation of your very being. How could it be otherwise? Challenges you may face or have faced with your mother are the result [...]

Half-baked. You know this expression. You use it in reference to one who does not have all of their faculties or for an idea that has not reached its prime. We are referencing the latter when we say that your life is like that most of the time, for you [...]

Gratitude, even when you feel you have nothing for which you are grateful, will bring you back to center. It seems paradoxical, does it not? Gratitude, even when … but it is then, when you think there is nothing to be grateful for, that even the smallest gift warms the [...]

At times you wish to shield yourself from vibrations which you find uncomfortable. These often accompany emotions. "Why would I want to feel discord?" you ask, and we ask you, Are you not alive? Aliveness encompasses the full spectrum of feelings, of vibrations. In shunning the lower vibrations, you are [...]

If you spend your time worrying what others think of you or if you are giving them what they want, you will be wasting your time. Why is this? In the first place, you cannot know exactly what another thinks or wants. In the second place, each person is here [...]

“One way or the other,” you say with determination upon setting a goal. And yes, that is how you move forward—not by staying on a fixed path, but by seeing that you always have choices and that there is more than one way to accomplish the task(s) at hand. One [...]

Why do you criticize yourself? It is the human way to compare. “This apple is shinier than that, and therefore more desirable. This house is bigger and more ornate, and therefore more desirable. That person is more beautiful than that other, and therefore more desirable.” Are you beginning to see [...]

Be impeccable with your choice of words, for they will determine your ensuing emotions, thoughts, and actions all jumbled together until you may not recognize the source of your challenges. Caught up in such a jumble, you may then lose awareness of the Source of who you are. What words [...]

Courage … it is not a human trait, but a natural quality of the soul. Why is this? Because fear is a human trait. Fear arises from the human’s many “what-ifs” and the unending, “But I might’s.” Fear arises from the belief that one is separate from all others and [...]

When another has angered you, you have given them power. When another has disappointed you, you have given away your power. In both cases it is the same: giving power to another or giving away your own occurs each time you allow another’s actions to determine your emotions. Thoughts generally [...]

When you become so fixed in a position that you find yourself saying, “I absolutely cannot _____” (and you fill in the blank), then you have dammed the flow. The flow of what? Of creativity, of spontaneity, of new ideas, of freedom … of Life! There is always another way [...]

You can give someone a tool, but you cannot make them use it after you have left them with it. So many of you wish to help others. You have found ways of bringing peace into your lives and you share them with others in hopes of them finding the [...]
